I guess never having been or wanting to be involved in a church that I really don't understand this one. If its a community you don't feel welcomed by, then why aspire to continued membership? From all I've read here, they don't really want you because you make them face up to questions they'd rather not ask about themselves and society in general. And if they don't want you, why should you want them? Make your own community - don't rely on something pregerated for you!

And I suspect Canada would be better for you as well...
